series of conspicuously banded gabbroic rocks. The primary minerals of both lower and upper layered series how a progressive change in composition, from higher to lower temperature phases, with increasing height in the complex.

This break is cor-related with the injection of a large volume of undifferentiated magma which oc-curred after much of the lower layered series had consolidated, and from which the rocks of the upper layered series were formed.
